HOW HARD IS IT TO CHANGE THE STEERING LIKEAGE IN AN 03 P71

4 Answers

Not difficult with the proper tools. A "Pickle Fork" and a
hammer will do the job. An air Impact hammer is even
easier. But either way, you still need the right tools. Yes,
you can pound it apart with a hammer alone but, you run
the risk of damaging the Steering gear, either or both
steering knuckles and smashing a finger or two. Swinging a
hammer upside down sucks anyway.

You're quite welcome. Enjoy your Crown Vic - it's actually
faster than any of the newer Crown Victoria PI's! The newer
ones have a computer controlled throttle body that backs off
of the throttle to shift gears - your has a cable and keeps the
power on as long as you hold the pedal down!

Makes winning noise, Shifts hard into 2nd gear when on it but after it gets up to
temperature trans slip to the point of total no go? After cool down, restart the car and
trans winning but has power...
